3 System Recovery Process

3.1 Introduction

If for any reason you have problems with your ArKaos Media Server system drive (drive C), you

can restore it to factory settings thanks to the backup image file which is located on an external

memory called ‘BACKUP”. To do so, follow this recovery process step by step. Make sure you

have a backup of your personal content. After Recovery your system will be restored to its

factory settings, removing all the existing files.

IMPORTANT :

Be very careful when going through the Recovery Process as your server may become

unusable if you do not select the correct options as described further. Upon receiving the server

it is recommended that you take some time in a quiet place to go through the Recovery Process

on the server up to step 8 so that you are familiar with the recovery and you will be more

confident if you need to do it on a tour, two hours before a show.. .
